George and Fred raised their eyebrows in perfect sync as they launched the last gnome into the sky.
They ran over and sandwiched Zhang Xiao between them.
"Just so you know, we're very picky."
"Ordinary ideas won't impress us."
"Unless they're interesting enough."
"And surprising enough."
Zhang Xiao pulled the exquisite Wizard's Chess set straight out of his bag, interrupting the twins' double act.
"Don't you think young wizards have far too little to do for fun?"
"Zhang, you think so too? Honestly, we think life is terribly dull!"
"We need something to liven it up."
"So we're planning to open a joke shop someday and add a little color to the world."

Fred and George thought for a moment, looking much more serious this time.
"Zhang, tell us what you have in mind."
He tapped the Wizard's Chess board lightly with his wand, turning it into something like a stone slab, with rows of stone platforms on the two opposing sides.

Fred and George closed their
